詳細 2011年5月2日 07:08更新: ABOUT DAWN LANDES
Dawn’s music comes from the mouth, mind and hands of New York-based singer-songwriter Dawn Landes. Reminiscent of the raw traditionalism of Woody Guthrie and the experimental alt-folk lyricism of artists like Joanna Newsome, the Louisville KY native plays a variety of instruments (8-dollar guitars! pink accordions! glockenspiels! optigons!).

Whether she’s performing by herself or with accomplices (members of the bands Hem and The Earlies), her live show brings moving silence to the crowd and has caught the attention of a number of popular touring artists who’ve taken her on the road. In addition to her gig performing with Rounder recording artists Hem (backing vocals and Glockenspiel), Dawn has supported the likes of Midlake, Jose Gonzalez, Suzanne Vega, Le Tigre, Andrew Bird, Feist, M83, Josh Ritter, Jane Siberry and Shannon Wright.

Dawn recently finished her second full-length album "Fireproof" which will be released Jan 2008 in Europe by Fargo Records, and Feb 2008 in the US by Cooking Vinyl Records. Dawn’s first self-recorded and self-produced album "Dawn’s Music" is now available in Europe through UK label Boyscout Records, and can be purchased in America if you go to a show (or online iTunes or cdbaby.com). Boy Scout also released an EP called "Two Three Four" in Europe summer 2006. Dawn will be touring Europe for the remainder of 2007 so be sure to check back for tour dates.

Oh, we almost forgot! Dawn’s day job is as a recording engineer, working with such renowned artists as Hem, Philip Glass, Joseph Arthur and Ryan Adams.
